facilities, GRANTEE shall, within 60 days after receipt of written request from GRANTOR, relocate said facilities
to another mutually agreed upon Easement Area in GRANTOR's premises, provided that (a) GRANTOR shall
reimburse GRANTEE the full actual cost of the relocation, and (b) GRANTOR shall execute and deliver to
GRANTEE, at no cost, an acceptable and recordable easement to cover the relocated facilities. Upon the
completion of the relocation, the easement herein shall be considered cancelled as to the portion vacated by such
relocation. If this easement is being granted to provide electric service to GRANTOR, then this legal description
was provided by GRANTOR. In the event facilities are located outside of this legal description, GRANTOR shall
pay for any relocation costs necessary or shall amend this legal description to cover the actual facilities. Should this
easement be granted to provide electric service to a third party, GRANTEE shall provide the legal description and
GRANTOR shall not have any liability related to errors in the legal description.
GRANTOR covenants not to interfere with GRANTEE's facilities within the Easement Area in
GRANTOR's premises, and GRANTOR further covenants to indemnify to the extent of Florida Statute 768.28
and hold GRANTEE harmless from damages and injuries, whether to persons or property, arising directly from the
negligent act related to GRANTEE's facilities by GRANTOR or by GRANTOR' s agents or employees.
Nothing contained herein, however, shall be construed to waive or modify the provisions of Florida Statute
768.28 or the doctrine of sovereign immunity as to any party hereto. In addition, nothing contained herein shall be
construed as consent by the GRANTOR to be sued by third parties in any manner arising from this grant of easement, or
as a waiver of sovereign immunity.
GRANTEE agrees to indemnify and hold GRANTOR harmless for, from and against any and all losses,
claims or damages incurred by GRANTOR arising directly from GRANTEE's negligence or failure to exercise
reasonable care in the construction, reconstruction, operation, use or maintenance of GRANTEE's facilities located on
the above described easement.
GRANTOR hereby warrants and covenants (a) that GRANTOR is the owner of the fee simple title to the
premises in which the above described Easement Area is located, (b) that GRANTOR has full right and lawful
authority to grant and convey this easement to GRANTEE, and (c) that GRANTEE shall have quiet and peaceful
possession, use and enjoyment of this easement.
All covenants, terms, provisions and conditions herein contained shall inure and extend to and be obligatory
